Solar Insure Launches Innovative SI-Commercial Warranty to Boost Confidence in Solar Energy Projects
Solar Insure's New Warranty Solution for Commercial Solar Projects
On February 2, 2026, Solar Insure officially launched the SI-Commercial warranty, a dedicated protection plan tailored specifically for commercial solar installations. This innovative warranty responds to the distinctive requirements of the commercial solar market, which often entails higher capital exposure, extended project lifespans, and intense scrutiny from financial backers and property owners.
Key Features of the SI-Commercial Warranty
The SI-Commercial warranty covers commercial solar systems with capacities of up to 2 MW DC. It provides comprehensive protection for a substantial duration, including up to 30 years of panel coverage and 20 years of inverter coverage. This offering addresses the limitations of standard manufacturer warranties by covering not just parts, but also labor costs for repairs that fall under warranty coverage.
Solar Insure has also expanded its Approved Vendor List (AVL) to include several renowned inverter manufacturers such as Chint Power Systems (CPS), Hoymiles, SMA, SolarEdge, Solis, AP Systems, and Enphase. This expansion allows commercial installers to enjoy added flexibility without compromising on the stringent qualification standards that Solar Insure demands regarding performance, durability, and serviceability.
Meeting the Expectations of Commercial Solar projects
The launch of SI-Commercial comes in response to the increasing expectations placed on commercial solar projects by installers, asset owners, and financiers. Ara Agopian, CEO of Solar Insure, emphasizes that the commercial solar sector requires a higher level of accountability and that this new warranty aims to provide reliable protection that aligns with commercial project obligations from initiation to ongoing upkeep. This approach not only strengthens bids for projects but also enhances profit margins and assures all stakeholders of the project's value long after installation.
Each SI-Commercial warranty incorporates manufacturer default protection, enabled by an A+ rated insurance carrier from AM Best, thereby ensuring that coverage remains intact even in the event of a manufacturer facing insolvency.
Benefits for Installers and Asset Owners
For installers venturing into or expanding within the commercial solar sector, SI-Commercial represents a competitive advantage. By consolidating long-term equipment and labor protection into a single, transferable warranty, installers can mitigate future service obligations and streamline warranty management. This overhaul of risk conversation enables installers to focus on delivering value while ensuring asset owners gain lasting assurance in their installations.
Dean Chiaravallotti, Chief Revenue Officer at Solar Insure, states that SI-Commercial is not merely an additional item on a proposal; it transforms how risks are perceived. As confidence grows in the solar power investments, projects become easier to finance and defend over time.
A Benchmark for Future Commercial Solar Investments
Solar Insure aims to set a clear standard for the structure, transfer, and sustainability of risks associated with commercial solar investments through its SI-Commercial warranty. As the adoption of commercial solar systems continues to rise, and with the associated risks mounting, this warranty positions both installers and asset owners favorably. SI-Commercial is crafted to scale responsibly, outperform competitors, and build long-lasting confidence in the commercial solar market.
